VIDEO: 3-4 Chicago Officers Hurt After 'Protesters' Attack Following Shooting

Protesters turned violent Saturday night following a fatal officer-involved shooting.

Chicago, IL - Protesters in Chicago started attacking police officers following a fatal officer-involved shooting earlier Saturday evening (videos below.)

The incident happened in the area of 71st St and Chappel Ave at around 5:30 p.m.

Chicago PD Chief of Patrol Fred Waller said that officers were working foot patrol when they spotted a man who looked like he may have a weapon in his waistband.

The officers confronted the suspect, who then became combative. As the suspect fought with officers, he flailed away from them.

The suspect then appeared to be reaching for his weapon, and officers fatally shot him.

Officers recovered a semi-automatic firearm and magazines from the suspect.

Chief Waller added that the suspect did not have a concealed carry permit.

The suspect and officers have not been identified at this time.

Almost immediately following the shooting, a large crowd of protesters formed and started threatening to shoot the police.

The crowd spread the story about how a barber named "Snoop" was unarmed and shot in the back as he was walking home from work.

The crowd also created a second narrative where people claimed that Snoop was armed, but they said he had a concealed carry permit.

The crowd started jumping on police cars and clashing with officers.

Many in the crowd threatened police officers, saying that they better not be around come nighttime.

At around sunset, people in the crowd started to throw glass bottles, rocks, and bottles of urine at officers. Chief Waller said three to four officers were injured in the attacks.

Officers responded by ordering the protesters back and taking down troublemakers and people who refused to listen.

This so called reporter has lied from the beginning. First he is thrown to the ground by Police, then he is pushed to the ground by Police and lastly he is pushed backwards and stumbles but can’t remember if he landed on the ground!! If this guy with a gun was so innocent why did he flee? I say, put a fence around Chicago and let them have at it!

@ByAnyMeensNecessary - Thanks, I'm thinking about using bullet points the next time to make it easier for the anti-police trolls to follow. Keep it simple for simple minds, ya know?

They're just more useful idiots these rioters...

Following Alinsky's rules....

The Rules "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have." "Never go outside the expertise of your people." "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy." "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." "A good tactic is one your people enjoy." "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag." "Keep the pressure on." "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself." "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside" "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative." "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

It's really sad that it's come to this thanks to the last administration's efforts to start a race war. Sadly some have fallen into the trap and this is the end result. Our country is torn now and needs mending, I just hope people come to their damn senses and understand when you break the law and threaten others, even by carrying a concealed weapon when not legal, you are headed for serious trouble and may even be shot by police, and if you reach for it, forget it, you will be shot.

Just a couple of thoughts.....

  1. I wonder if stricter federal minority control laws could have prevented this tragedy?
  2. Once a reporter decides to imbed himself in a riot, he is no longer protected by his occupation. At that point he is just like anyone else.
  3. The higher ups at the CPD should have been able to predict this outcome the moment they sent officers into a war zone in an attempt to control violent crime. Now, the family of this criminal will sue and of course the city will pay out. Then the officers involved will become the scapegoats and lose their jobs or be indicted by a city scared of riots. If you're a Chicago officer, do yourself a favor and only answer calls for service. Don't self initiate confrontations like this one. You'll only end up on the front page news as the big, bad, racist officer.

If only they had this much passion about getting jobs or when they kill each other.

Until then

Chicago PD can't possibly win. They are attacked from all sides. They are cast as the invading force by activists, their politicians, and community "leaders" The media ramps every event into an escalated call to attack them. An OIS of a man with a gun gets transformed into an unarmed man shot in the back for no reason. The lie spreads like wildfire and predictably protests turn into riots. In other words, a typical Saturday night is Chiraq.
